SWEET PEA SOUP



Sweet Pea Soup image

This soup is a cinch to make, but allow time for the mint ice to freeze. The pea soup may appear slightly thick but will thin as the mint ice melts. If you are preparing this soup during the colder months, simply omit the mint ice and thin with extra vegetable stock.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 large bunch fresh mint, stems removed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 eight-ounce white onion, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 cups Homemade Vegetable Stock, plus more for thinning
2 1/2 pounds sweet peas, shelled, or 4 ten-ounce boxes frozen peas

Steps:

  • Bring 3 cups water to a boil. Remove from heat, add mint, reserving a few sprigs for garnish, and let steep for about 2 hours, until the liquid is very flavorful and slightly green. Strain liquid, discarding mint, and transfer to two ice trays, or an 8-by-8-inch baking pan. Place in the freezer, and freeze until solid.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a medium saucepan set over medium-low heat. Add chopped onion, salt, and pepper; cook, stirring often, until onions are soft and translucent, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Add stock, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and let simmer 1 hour. The liquid will be reduced by about half. Add peas, and cook about 4 minutes, until peas are just tender. Remove from heat, and transfer to a bowl set in ice water. Stir until cold.
  • Transfer soup to the jar of a blender; process until smooth. Adjust consistency with more stock. Chill until ready to serve.
  • Remove frozen mint ice cubes from the freezer, and place them in the jar of a blender (if using an 8-by-8-inch baking pan, cut ice into chunks). Process the mint ice cubes until they are crushed.
  • Place soup in bowls topped with a spoonful of crushed mint ice; garnish with mint sprigs, and serve immediately.

CHILLED PEA-MINT SOUP



Chilled Pea-Mint Soup image

Buttermilk-simmered peas, plenty of mint, a touch of salt: That's it. The chef Daniel Patterson brought the recipe to The Times in 2007. It benefits mightily not just from the use of fresh peas, but from real, homemade buttermilk as well, "nothing like the cultured, processed stuff that goes by the same name," he wrote. This is true, as it happens, but luckily fresh buttermilk can increasingly be found at farmer's markets and in specialty markets. Top the chilled soup with a few peas and a grind or two of fresh black pepper.

Categories     soups and stews, appetizer

Time 15m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups homemade buttermilk (see note)
4 cups shelled peas, plus more for garnish
Salt
10 mint leaves
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, bring the buttermilk to a simmer and add 4 cups of peas and a large pinch of salt. Simmer for 1 to 2 minutes over medium heat, stirring often so that the buttermilk does not boil over. The peas should not be fully cooked and still have a slight bite to them.
  • Transfer the peas and liquid immediately to a blender with the mint leaves and, starting on low speed, carefully blend (holding the lid on firmly with a dishcloth), working up to high speed for 60 seconds.
  • In order to preserve the vibrant color and flavor of the peas, the soup must be cooled immediately. Pass through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, then rest the bowl inside a larger bowl full of ice water. Stir continuously until cool, tasting occasionally; you will notice that the soup becomes sweeter as it cools. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper. Refrigerate until cold.
  • To serve, ladle soup into bowls and top with fresh peas and freshly ground black pepper.
